Will Kefka be harder?

[Tricky]

A lot of us that played the original were disappointed by the difficulty of the final fight with Kefka. Will this new version make him harder or keep him the same? I'm tired of seeing videos where he's basically 1 shotted.

I love that people equate a damage sponge to difficulty.

People also equate mindless hours of grinding "difficulty" as well.

That said, I do prefer bosses to last at least some amount of time rather than dropping dead quickly. I think the problem is some people are too good at not just the games, and not just the series, but the entire genre. When you understand how to play the games well it's going to seem much easier than it probably is.

On a strict technical level FF6 is probably the EASIEST RPG of all time, with only a very VERY few stat-checks (such as Air Base)

...

It's still one of the most fun, awesome

Remember folks, Ragnarok/Illumina + Atma Weapon + Genji Glove + Offering on Terra was the winswitch for Kefka. No need to spam Ultima or anything like that. You just attacked and annihilated him.

yea i did that before..lol.

As for hard games..go play 7th saga on snes. Make it to the one town where your companion steals the rune that heals, and go fight him. It is so freaking hard i quit the game for several years before i tried it again. lol,,.,at least i did beat it eventually.

7th Saga is a great idea... I think a reimagining of it could go over well...

Wait, that's Octopath Traveller :p

[Narrowmind]

7th was brutal. And when you lose a rune, omg. I'm surprised it's so hated today. Yeah, Enix went over board with the menus, but I loved that game as a kid. Still appreciate the soundtrack to this day. And how many ghost dogs have been as fearful as in that game? 😱

no..they screwed up the last dungeon of finis in octopath traveler..it sucks. It is not even a full dungeon..it is a boss rush like in mega man.

It was very hard to have Terra spam 5 Ultimas per turn

I never finished Octopath Traveller.. An hour or so of bosses followed by the final boss with no saving.. That's not challenge, that's just unfun. Plus it ultimately made the game designed only for the people that complained everything needs to be brutally difficult by basically designing the system where, at the end, levels and time spent getting things is rendered completely useless and bosses become a mechanical "you can only win by pressing specific buttons at a specific time or you get wiped out" type of thing, with some RNG added so even doing everything perfectly you can still die.

Beating the stories to get the characters and finishing their quest is fairly fun, but the "true ending" section is where all the fun gets sucked out of it.

X-Fight/Dual Wield != one hit

But yeah, I'd like the whole game to be more difficult.

I can recommend a mod made by a buddy of mine called Brave New World

I just don't want there to be a way to 1 shot Kefka. It really really makes the whole climactic experience feel pretty pathetic lol. Just watch this clip...

That was 8 shots btw.

[SpacePlayez]

Using supplies Attacks and weapons.
Celest I think on Second "Game +" can Scan Kefeka and Aware his Weakness. Special "Unlock" after LvlUp. And use that on 3rd Run. Then 4th LvlUp IDK.
close outta 6 New Games of Kefeka. Then Special Added Boss battle after uniterrupted BOSS Fight.
Pummle "Trained" with Someone.

Brave New World is AWFUL. Zero balance. Your friend needs to take a few game design courses or something, because good lord, it is legitimately one of the worst RPG mods I have ever had the misfortune of trying. A mod should not have an optimal style of play that is SO optimal it puts everything else to absolute shame. I got 10 hours in and had already figured out how to break the balance. Locke, due to his ability to get mag+spd and have a high (actually working) evasion, makes him the best healer in the game. Sure, he won't heal for quite as much as the actual casters, but it will be 2x as fast, with almost 0% chance of taking physical damage. Any other character that can get mag+speed will outshine the physical characters by so much they become useless by level 50. Don't need high HP on Cyan or Edgar if you are almost never getting hit because evasion is so easy to stack.

Not to mention the dried meat. Ugh. Went through 500 of them leveling up in the first 10 hours of gameplay. Because sure, some of your characters are evading like crazy, but you WILL still get hit...for half of your hp by a random Leafer. Brave New World is awful, which is such a shame because it is very well-liked by a very small % of people, I went in with a lot of hope.

if you want a mini-meta challenge... while also keeping a relatively low level, use a randomizer to pick your final battle order
